Shinichi Lupin

A Lupin III/Detective Conan Crossover

Chapter 1

Jigen fished out a cigarette from a new pack and lit it, only for the falling snow to extinguish it. He sucked his teeth and threw the death stick into the alley wall before shoving his hands into his pockets.

Honestly, Lupin had gone too far this time. Not only had they risked their lives for that woman again, but she had stolen the day's profit right from under their nose. Now they were penniless and trapped in Japan.

He stopped walking. Something was shuffling about around the corner. Some scraping noises, a thud, and a whimper. Peeking around the corner, Jigen saw…a boy. He almost sighed in relief until he saw the blood dripping from the kid's forehead.

He looked 5, maybe a very small 6. His little suit (who the hell dressed their kid in a suit!?) looked high quality, but it was hard to tell with all the grime on it. He was curled up next to a dumpster and, from what Jigen could tell, had hit the injured part of his head.

When Jigen stepped into view, the boy flinched violently, banging his head again. "Hey, stop that!" Jigen scolded, striding forward to grab the kid by the chin. He tried to pull out of his grip as Jigen inspected the boy's injury. "You're going to hurt yourself more!"

"Let go!" he shouted in English, pounding his fists against Jigen's arm. The hits were weak and his body was shivering constantly.

"I'm trying to see if you have a concussion, you little shit!" Jigen said without thinking. Fortunately, the insult didn't freak the kid out or anything. He just pouted, crossing his arms but stayed still enough so Jigen could check his head injury.

As he pressed his fingers to the skin around the cut, the boy winced. "Yeah, that looks like a concussion…" he muttered, pinching the bridge of his nose. Geeze, what a day. "Alright, come on. There's a hospital a few miles from here, I'll carry you—"

"No!" The kid renewed his struggling. "I won't go! The bad men will find me!"

"Whoa, whoa! Easy, kid!" Jigen exclaimed, trying to keep hold of the brat. "What "bad men"?"

The boy sniffed, tears in his eyes. "W-When I woke up, I was in a car and my head hurt real bad… There were these men in the front and they were really scary… They said something about an experiment and one said they could sell me…" Disgust rolled around in Jigen's stomach. Human traffickers…scum of the earth. "They didn't know I was awake yet, so when the car stopped at a stop light, I opened the door and ran until I couldn't hear them yelling anymore." A few tears ran down the kid's face, but he rubbed them away. He stared up at him through his long lashes. "Um, mister…who are you?"

"Name's Jigen, kid," Jigen said, rubbing his forehead. This was bad. If the police found him with a concussed, kidnapped, possibly foreign child… The best course of action was to find the kid's parents and give him back. Hopefully the kid remembered where his hotel was… "What's yours?"

"I, um…Shinichi…I think…" he looked down at his feet. "I don't really remember."

Jigen almost groaned. Kidnapped, a concussion, and now amnesia!? Christ, this kid couldn't be more unlucky if he broke a mirror under a latter on Friday the 13th! He sighed. Well, there was no helping it. This kid was going to fight all the way to the hospital and no police officer would believe a criminal and a boy with a concussion. He'll have to treat him back at the hideout and look for a missing person's report in the morning.

He scooped the kid up into his arms, making the boy yelp in surprise. "Come on, brat. We'll fix you up at my place and then we'll look for your parents." Shinichi seemed to think about it, then nodded. Jigen carried him through the snow, back to the hideout, while thinking about what the hell he was going to tell to Lupin.

At 3:21 pm, Yukiko Kudo realized that her son was no longer trailing after her through the store.

At 5:14 pm, the Lupin gang received a new member.

A/N: And now this is a story…Just FYI, I have no idea which season of Lupin III to start this in, so it might take me a while. I've only seen the specials with DC, Castle of Cagliostro, and some of the 2015 anime, so if you have any suggestions, PM me!
